TextAsset

Unreal Engine 4 plug-in that adds a text asset and editor for personal notes.

About

The TextAsset plug-in implements two modules that demonstrate how to add a new type of content asset to Unreal Engine 4. The asset itself stores a simple text string that can be used for adding personal notes or other textual information to your project, or to be consumed within Blueprints. The plug-in also includes an asset editor, asset factories, and asset actions for the Content Browser.

Make sure to pull the Tag that matches your Unreal Engine version. If you sync to Master the code may not compile, because it may depend on Engine changes that are not yet available in the UE4 Master branch.

Supported Platforms

This plug-in was last built against Unreal Engine 4.19. It works on all platforms.

Dependencies

This plug-in requires Visual Studio and either a C++ code project or the full Unreal Engine 4 source code from GitHub. If you are new to programming in UE4, please see the official Programming Guide!
